Progymnasmata - Daily Classical Rhetoric Exercise App
Progymnasmata is an offline-first iOS app that delivers one classical rhetoric exercise a day, matched to the values you care about. Built with React Native, Expo, and TypeScript, it’s fully local — no account, no server, and no third-party services of any kind — bringing the fifteen progymnasmata exercise types (fable, maxim, narrative, declamation, and more) to a modern daily-practice format.
Key Features
- Daily Exercise Delivery Engine: A local, on-device scheduler delivers one exercise a day at a time you choose, matched to your selected values. DST-correct local-time scheduling with a rolling 14-day notification horizon, no server round-trip required.
- 15 Classical Types, 75 Exercises: A single shared reader renders all fifteen progymnasmata types faithfully to their classical anatomy — a maxim’s clarity/plausibility/benefit test, a narrative’s six elements, CRAC for law, delivery cues for declamation — each with cited sources and a confidence label.
- Value-Matched Selection Engine: 72 values across 9 categories drive a deterministic selection engine (direct match → related value → stale-pick revisit → explore), unit-tested against repeats, type rotation, and disabled-type handling.
- Offline-First, Zero Backend: Fully local architecture powered by
expo-sqlitefor user state; all 75 exercises ship inside the app binary as static TypeScript. No account, no analytics, no CDN, no content sync. - Practice Workspace & Handbook: An autosaving practice editor per exercise (prompt, steps, checklist) alongside a streak counter, plus a full Handbook reference covering all 15 types — definition, anatomy, how to practice, and common pitfalls.
